Rusticate

This week has been something.
I volunteered for an online assessment with this agency after I forwarded my cv. (Volunteered might be the wrong word - I actually wanted that chance. And that is where the drama started.
My computer could not support the web link - therefore after trying EVERYTHING to update my comp to the wee hours of the night I gave up. My only option was to go to a cyber cafe very early in the morning to quickly do the assessment.

So there I was first one in the local cyber cafe - I did the first bit (basic interpretation of graphs) took a break by going to Central London. That was just to have a breather and analyze how it went. At around mid day I found the second cyber cafe - had nice background music and more mature crowd. But while in the midst of all the drama, I'm sweating, this guy walks in and borrows my pen! Hey I could have strangled him..... Well I just waived him. He must have thought I was the rudest guy on earth - brother understand it's life and death.

On finishing the assessment I looked around and went to apologise to the brother - either he was polite or a good actor coz he just acknowledged my apologies.

Getting 'the' job - ain't easy.

On a lighter note from the Daily Telegraph.

An Oxford student, a grandson of a Lord, has been suspended for secretly filming two others doing their thing. He posted it on the school website - every student had a copy on their phones. Technology is good. He was brought before a disciplinary committee where he was rusticated for one year.

Time for me to rusticate myself?
